I read a bunch of posts on this site but I'm getting conflicting information as well as outdated links (i.e Gesher Cleveland not working). Can someone explain to me if tuition on Cleveland is free/reduced? I understand that there are different programs for different areas within the eruv. Any information would help.

curious if there is a "free tuition" cap? i.e. 15,000 - $16,000 for high school ?

Thanks for the replies. Are these vouchers limited to those two neighborhoods? Are those two neighborhoods the main frum neighborhoods in Cleveland? Also if I earn more than 200%, what can I expect the tuition to cost (are tuitions inflated due to the vouchers)?

its not inflated but from my understanding it could be that the school wonít give you a break if you donít qualify for the totally free one since they wonít count the amount that they get from the government as if you paid it.
